Dave Eggers and Jason DittmarDave Eggers and Jason DittmarDave Eggers (Granger) and Jason Dittmar (North Liberty) won the Poor Boy’s Bass Attack at Winona Lake and the victory helped them to the Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance Tournament Series Season Championship.

On a day when the fish were few and far between (only six teams weighed in fish), their four bass weighed 14.90 pounds and was anchored by a 5.39-pound largemouth that took the Travel Tender Bait and Tackle Big Bass Award.

Rich Patton (Plymouth) and Dave Morrow (Knox) were second with 14.33 pounds. They had the only five fish limit of the tournament and reported that was the only five bites they had all day. Their second-place finish gave them third place in the season championship. Jason Weiricks and Ken Baster of Cromwell only had one fish with eight minutes to go but they caught two more in the final minutes on an umbrella rig to take third place with 10.14 pounds. Andy Buss (North Liberty) and Steve Prange (Niles, Mich.), championship leaders going into the final event, weighed in three fish weighing 9.10 pounds and their fourth-place finish dropped them to second in the series.
